INTRODUCTION.
In response to many inquiries, the Public Library Commission
issues the accompanying lists of books for the convenience of
teachers and others interested in the selection and purchase of
books for school libraries in North Dakota.
The lists are taken from many sources, credit being given the
compiler when known. The list prepared by grades is adapted
for rural schools also, the grades being merely an index to the
age of pupils for whom the books are suitable. ſº
The prices of books fluctuate and the actual cost at the time
of purchase may vary a few cents from the figures given in the
second column. These quotations were made by reliable firms and
are printed to show the economy of buying through agents entitled
to the discounts. The Public Library Commission is at all times
willing to furnish quotations and to aid in the purchase of books
for schools. . -

A poor encyclopaedia is a bad investment. It is also unwise to buy of
an agent without first making inquiries to find whether the work may
be bought for less money. Cloth binding is sufficiently durable.
The small encyclopaedias by Champlin are better for grades than any
single work and as they are not subscription books, they may be purchased
of any regular dealers and are as follows:
